"12on12 has built its reputation at the intersection of music, art, and culture, curating collectible vinyl experiences that transcend format. Its latest project, Been There Done That, represents a landmark collaboration between Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper and streetwear pioneer Jeff Staple. Limited to just 400 copies worldwide, this release is as much an artifact of cultural dialogue as it is a piece of recorded music, drawing together Glasper's genre-defying artistry with Staple's sharp eye for visual storytelling."
"At the heart of the collaboration is a double vinyl hand-curated by Glasper, pressed on heavyweight colored wax, and presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve adorned with original artwork by Staple. Each copy is hand-numbered, underscoring its rarity and collectible appeal. For Glasper, the vinyl serves as both retrospective and reinvention, spanning a catalogue that has blurred the boundaries between jazz, hip-hop, soul, and R&B."
"The record is studded with collaborations that trace Glasper's impact across genres, featuring contributions from Kendrick Lamar, H.E.R., Anderson .Paak, Brittany Howard, and Q-Tip. Beyond these celebrated tracks, the vinyl debuts Ah Yeah (Alternate Take), a previously unreleased recording by the Robert Glasper Experiment with Musiq Soulchild and Chrisette Michele. Adding another layer of intimacy is a recorded conversation between Glasper and Staple, offering fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their shared creative process."
